We bought this to replace simalarly sized Sony that died prematurely. We also recently purchased a wide screen Toshiba so we thought we would try Toshiba again. The unit looks good and the flat screen is really nice. Picture quality is generally excellent. The DVD is full featured and convenient. We have had a few problems with "sticking" DVDs that otherwise seem fine. The remote is OK except for the orange labeling used on some of the dual function buttons that is almost impossible to read. The unit is a little big with the DVD player on the bottom and the speakers on the side. Overall, we are pleased with our purchase and glad we weren't seduced by a much more expensive LCD TV with an inferior picture.

After a lot of research I finally got this Toshiba and it fits great for the space I had intended and looks OK, but I really dislike the picture colors. You basically have choice between too green or too red. I had to really soften and minus the colors and tint so I could have a picture that doesn't make all the programs look like animated cartoons. There is no temperature control and the blue is very intense and looks like it's separate from the rest of the image.

On top of that the remote is very unpleasant in your hand, non-intuitive and have some of the important buttons in subtle orange. I'm borderline reading glasses, but come on, I can read the TV guide fine but I cannot find my way on this remote!
